A Simple Guide to Bladder Injury Compensation

A bladder injury can be exceedingly painful and disruptive to an individual’s life. The bladder stores urine and plays a vital role in the urinary system, when damaged the sufferer may sustain temporary or permanent bladder issues, some may experience total loss of functional use of the bladder. Adjusting to life with a bladder injury can have a significant impact on your mental wellbeing, some people find their injuries embarrassing and in many cases their ability to enjoy hobbies or perform everyday activities becomes restricted following their accident.

A bladder injury can occur in a number of ways. Two of the leading causes of bladder injuries tend to be blunt force trauma and medical negligence. Traumatic injuries such as punctured or ruptured bladders are often as a result of high impact accidents such as road traffic collisions, being struck by heavy objects or falls from height.

In some circumstances, you may suffer a bladder injury whilst undergoing surgical procedures or childbirth. Failed procedures can result in the ureter being inadvertently blocked, or the bladder being perforated. Those giving birth may find that their bladder prolapses due to the excess stress and pressure applied to the area whilst in labour. Indications of a bladder injury include severe back pain, loss of body fluids, difficulty retaining water, severe pain in the pelvic region when urinating as well as bleeding from the urinary tract.  

We are unfortunately very aware of the impact that a bladder injury can have on someone’s personal and professional life. Thankfully, with the years of knowledge and expertise our team have in handling this type of claim, we have already been able to help many clients obtain the compensation they deserve.

What are General and Special Damages? 

The compensation calculator can help you estimate the out of compensation you might receive for your injury claim. This part of your compensation is known as General Damages, as it relates to the pain, suffering and loss of amenity that you have suffered as a result of your accident.

  • Pain: refers to the initial pain you suffered when your accident occurred.
  • Suffering: refers to the ongoing pain that you have endured since the accident.
  • Loss of amenity: refers to the fact that you could either for a period, or permanently no longer do something that you could do prior to the accident, for example play a sport.

The compensation calculator does not include other losses that you might have incurred as a result of your accident. Such as, loss of earnings, cost of care or damage to property. These items are known as Special Damages and can be claimed in addition to the General Damages mentioned above. The amount of compensation you receive will ultimately be made up of General and Special Damages, that is your injury claim and financial losses.
